I just noticed Painkiller Black had a new patch. When I try to install it, it tells me "This update is incompatible with installed version". The version i have is the GOG version and it has been installed for a while. I assume this is caused by the fact that I do not install my games in the default location.

Is there a way for me to force the installer to look in a different location for the game?

I tried copying the installer into the game folder and running it from there but it had no effect.

I also install my games in a non-default location (C:/Games) and the patch had no problems installing on my system. Is it possible that you had a non-GOG version of the game installed at one time (leftover registry entries can be a bitch)? Have you tried re-running the game installer, then running the patch?

My little problem is Comodo recognized it as Trojan.Injector. I'm sure it's false positive so i turn off my av for a while. Then the patcher updated my game just fine after that. I also install the game in non-default location.

I am confounded as to what purpose does the patch serve.

Haven't used it as yet since the game runs flawlessly.

So there is a stand alone patch? I just noticed that my game (Painkiller) has been updated.

It fixes a problem with exceptionally long load times. Not sure if any other bugs are addressed as well.

Thanks much! Wow, that's what i call service ;)

Is the patch something utterly silly, like applying imagecfg to the game's exe?

Did you also alter the installer, that if I install Painkiller for the first time now I don't have to patch it?
